Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!.

Chapter 696 Emblem and Aegis! (9K views, please vote!)

The sudden second duel caught the audience off guard, but it also brought an even greater sense of excitement.

It wasn't simply because the audience was bloodthirsty; rather, it was because this duel was free of any other factors.

There were no desperate emotional problems, no relentless psychological attacks, and no strained relationship between the brothers.

This duel is a pure duel!

In fact, neither of them probably thought they would fight each other before the duel!
This kind of pure duel is perhaps what the audience wants to see more of.

"My turn."

Hikaru Amagi looked down at his hand cards.

"Activate the magic card, and fusion is born."

This card rarely gets a chance to be activated directly; it's usually sent down by Little Blue. If you get it in your hand on the first turn, Amagi Hikaru definitely won't hesitate to use it.

"Send the top 5 cards of your deck to the Graveyard. If any of them are Fusion Monsters, you can perform a Fusion Summon."

"Oh ho... a fusion of luck?" The throne was quite interested in this card.

"Sending 5 cards to the grave, what those 5 cards will be, is a completely unknown thing."

"If we send in 5 different monsters, then we will get different fusion results and have different fusion options."

"Interesting. So that's why it's called the birth of fusion, right?"

The throne was filled with interest as he watched Amagi Hikaru's duel.

Since he lost all hope of revenge, he has completely devoted himself to all sorts of fun things, and it is quite interesting to occasionally see this kind of card.

IV watched from the sidelines and also thought it was a very powerful and fun card. As a spectator, I would definitely be looking forward to seeing this type of card.

Send five cards from your deck to the graveyard.

Hikaru Amagi picked up five cards from his deck and tossed them gently into the air above the duel arena.

Shadowbeast, Brand Fusion, Mysterious Three-Transformation Armed Warrior, Mysterious Three-Transformation Mystic, Mysterious Three-Transformation Ferocious Beast.

Amagi Hikaru raised an eyebrow.

It's a bit bad, but also a bit clever.

"Oh!" The throne couldn't help but clap its hands and chuckle. "Three monsters from the same series. What kind of monster will they fuse into? I'm really curious."

That being said, Amagi Hikaru actually had other options for fusion, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was better to directly fuse with the Mysterious Three Transformations.

"The condition for fusion is that there are three Mysterious Transformations of Eight Stars or above."

In the cemetery, three bizarre and mysterious triple-transformation monsters transformed into different limbs, combined, and then became a huge, twisted, and intertwined monster.

"Fusion Summoning, Level 10, Ultimate Mysterious Triple Transformation Combined Form!"

Ultimate-level Mysterious Tri-Transformation Combined Formation, Level 10, Dark Attribute, Psychic Race, Attack Power 3500.
"A telekinetic race, huh... Hehehe." The throne chuckled softly twice.

"Draw a card based on Shaddoll's effect."

"Cover two cards, end the turn."

"Simple, efficient, and direct. Is this what Absolute Fusion is all about?" The throne stroked his chin, pondering. "But if that's all there is to it, it's simply not enough."

"What a boastful person."

"Where did this child come from?"

"Is this the kind of nonsense people from the Hyperdimension can spout?"

Among the viewers of Synchro Dimension, there is a group of people who are not very friendly to Xyz Dimension. Not only do the monsters without levels make Synchro users uncomfortable, but the rumors and shadows from before have also left them with a rather bad impression.

But the throne is not for such duelists.

"My turn, draw a card."

"Duel among duelists must continue to evolve. Even if you have a great reputation, your fusion ability is still limited to the fusion aspect." The throne looked at the card he drew and narrowed his eyes. "Under the power of despair, those monsters can't stop anything."

"Activate the effect of the card 'Emblem Beast Griffin' from your hand. You can activate this effect by sending 1 Emblem Beast other than Emblem Beast Griffin from your Deck to the Graveyard. Special Summon this card from your hand. After this effect is activated, you cannot Special Summon monsters from your Extra Deck until the end of this turn unless you Xyz Summon a monster whose original name contains only Emblem Beast or Number as Material."

Nest, Yuanwu?
Hikaru Amagi was slightly surprised when he heard the description of the card's effect.

That's really impressive.

The so-called "Enbu" refers to the famous Machine Slayer Enbu. Enbu can be Special Summoned by sending one Machine Slayer monster from the Deck to the Graveyard. This is not an "effect" but a "cost," so no matter what card is activated, this process cannot be stopped.

If it were just a Special Summon, that would be one thing, but sending one monster from your deck to the Graveyard out of thin air will basically fill the Graveyard with cards that have Graveyard effects. In this way, you gain another card out of thin air.

really--

Just like Amagi Hikaru had thought, the Throne also received a brand new card that was improved from the Goddess of Despair.

"I send Mythic Beast Unicorn from my deck to the graveyard and Special Summon Mythic Beast Griffin."

"Then, the magic card, the Resurrection Crest."

Another shimmering purple emblem rose from the face of the throne, then transformed into electricity and merged into the ground.

"Resurrect one Herald Beast monster from the graveyard. Resurrect, Herald Beast Unicorn."

"If you have two or more Emblem Beasts on your field, you can Special Summon Emblem Beast Wild from your hand."

Seeing that Amaterasu Hikaru hadn't made a move, the throne grinned and said, "Although I don't know what effect your monster has, it doesn't matter anymore."

"Because the monster that appears next is one you are destined to be unable to defeat!"

"When Xyz Summoning a No. Xyz Monster using 3 or more monsters as materials, the Emblem Griffin can be used as two materials!"

"Build an Xyz Network using two monsters on the field!"

A crimson scar appeared out of thin air.

Two huge, strange symbols, “69,” began to appear.

A gigantic monster rolled over and rose from the ground, its body resembling a massive shield, looking incredibly powerful.

"Show yourself!"

No. 69, the emblem of the divine shield!

No. 69 Emblem of the Divine Shield, Tier 4, Light Attribute, Psychic Race, Attack Power 2600, Xyz Material 2.
"The emblem!" Upon hearing this name, Yuma Tsukumo, who was galloping wildly, felt a chill run down his spine.

“The emblem… that monster has reappeared…” IV’s expression turned slightly grim.

The shield emblem that Yuma had struggled to defeat back then has reappeared...

Damn it, if it weren't for the Goddess of Despair...

"Another numbered monster?"

"Do people from the Xyz Dimension really like giving Xyz Monsters numbers?"

"But this makes it very clear that it's a feature of the Xyz Dimension..."

"What effect will that monster have? What makes that child so confident?"

Many people are curious.

And in terms of results—it was indeed unbeatable!

"As long as the Shield Signet is on the field, all other monster effects on the field are negated, and the Shield Signet gains the monster effects of those monsters!"

Extremely powerful!

It's genuinely powerful!
It's a one-way skill extraction, and all you need are three level 4 monsters!

"That's outrageous... such a strong effect."

"These people from Xyz Dimension... how should I put it, although it is indeed a bit abstract, their monsters are really strong."

This is a common thought in the minds of many people.

Although all these Xyz Dimensional beings use the same strategy: quickly gather a bunch of monsters of the same level and then Xyz Dimensional.

But I have to admit it.

These Xyz Monsters are really strong!
A simple entrance.

A powerful blocking capability.

Ultimate resistance—

Just a few monsters of the same level!

"However, in terms of attack power, the Mysterious Triple Transformation Combination is still superior!"

The members of the Fusion Dimension sat in front of the TV, watching the duel together. Seeing the powerful effect of the shield emblem, they all showed solemn expressions. But at this moment, Jaden said his classic line without hesitation.

High attack power is king!
No matter how strong you are, you only have 2600 attack power!

But at this moment, the throne was still carefully looking at the effect: "Oh ho... By banishing the corresponding card of the Secret Transformation from the graveyard, you can negate a monster, spell, or trap card and banish it?"

It was indeed a powerful effect, but unfortunately, it can no longer be activated.

The throne speculates that Amagi Hikaru probably intended to save this effect for a more meaningful purpose, but unexpectedly ended up stacking cards like the Shield Emblem at lightning speed.

He was right.

Hikaru Amagi did indeed fail to react in time, thus wasting an opportunity with an ineffective griffin.

In this world, even if you can see the effect of the opponent's card on the spot, it still takes time, and the opponent won't give you time to say "wait, let me see it a little longer".

Unless you need to activate a card's effect, you can't wait.

"Activate the Spell Card, Revealed Emblem. Tribute Emblem Beast Nyar on the field, and Special Summon two Emblem Beasts from your Deck. After this card is activated, you cannot Special Summon monsters from your Extra Deck except for Psychic and Machine monsters until the end of this turn."

"Release Emblem Nyr, Special Summon Emblem Stag Whale, Emblem Stag Whale, Emblem Twin-Headed Eagle."

Looking at the monsters on the field, the Jade Throne shook his head inwardly.

To prevent any accidents, he prioritized stacking the shield emblem, which is why the effect of the Stad Whale could not be activated.

However, this is necessary to deal with monsters with 3500 attack power and to prevent other obstacles. After all, there's only one griffin that can craft two monsters to stack materials.

"Multidimensional stacking using two Level 4 monsters!"

This time... it's number 8!

"Xyz Summon, Rank 4, No. 8 Herald King Genome Successor!"

The Herald King was a strange creature resembling a deer; it landed on all fours and called out softly.

No. 8, Herald King's Genome Inheritor, Rank 4, Light Attribute, Psychic Race, Attack Power 2400, Xyz Material 2.
"Another Xyz Monster! And it's a numbered one!"

"It really is, but—it's pointless, isn't it? The effect is ineffective anyway."

"Attack power of 2400 is still not enough to defeat the Mysterious Triple Transformation Conjoined!"

Again.

High attack power is high! If someone's attack power is 1 point higher than yours, then they're the boss!
"Not always."

As if he had guessed what the audience was thinking, the throne chuckled.

"The effect of the shield emblem is that the effects of monsters other than this card are negated, and then the shield emblem gains the effects of those monsters!"

"In other words... the emblem will also gain the effect of the genome inheritor!"

"Activate the power of the emblem gained from the Genome Inheritor!"

"Remove 1 Xyz Material; until the End Phase of this turn, the monster that battles this card has its ATK reduced to 0, and this card's ATK becomes that monster's original ATK—"

Go forth, Emblem of the Aegis!

The emblem's body spun and transformed into a giant shield, aimed at the genome inheritor. Countless DNA double strands flew through the air, and soon all the light merged into the emblem's body.

"That's so despicable!?"

"Damn it, doesn't this mean it wasn't affected at all? As long as the opponent's monsters are negated, my own monsters can activate their effects using the shield symbol!"

"No, not only that, they can also steal the opponent's effects, how shameless!"

"This is utterly shameless..."

Many people expressed their shock at the scene.

"Fight! Attack the Mysterious Triad with your shield emblem!" The throne roared with laughter, pointing at the opposite side. "Crush that laughable monster!"

The shield broke free from its shield form, and two enormous claws extended out, reaching towards the Mysterious Tri-Transformation Conjoined Body. With a loud bang, the Mysterious Tri-Transformation Conjoined Body instantly shattered.

Amagi LP: 4000→500.
"what!?"

"Wow--"

"It looks so painful—"

The throne grinned, "Don't rest too early, Amagi Hikaru. There's still one more attack coming—"

"Ah Guang!"

"master--"

Some people instinctively shouted.

However, Hikaru Amagi himself remained remarkably calm: "At this very moment, activate the overwrite card!"

"A standard trap card, Fusion Copy!"

"Ok?"

"You can target 1 Fusion Normal/Quick-Play Spell Card in your Graveyard or your opponent's Graveyard. Banish that Spell Card, and apply the effect of that Spell Card's activation."

A trap card that merges at this time?
Is it destined to be born through fusion...?

"Except for those in the cemetery, the branding has merged!"

Branding and fusion!

"Heh, that's true. In order to survive, a stable integration is obviously more reasonable."

"The fusion conditions are: Albus's mark and one monster with an attack power of 2500 or more."

"I sent Albus's Fallenborn and Evil Hero Fallen Claw from my deck to the graveyard."

"Fusion Summon, Ash Dragon Fallen Dragon!"

The dark-skinned guy jumped onto the field, then let out two loud "woo-woo-ah-ah" sounds before transforming into a giant silver-white dragon, carefully guarding Amagi Hikaru's field.

Ash Dragon Fallen Dragon, Level 8, Dark Attribute, Dragon Race, Attack Power 2500.
"Oh...applies during the Fusion turn. A card that is unaffected by the effects of other monsters Special Summoned from the Extra Deck? It also increases the ATK of the Fusion Material by 100 times its original Level."

It's a pity the emblem's effect doesn't need to be activated. Even if it were to fuse and enter the battlefield first, it would simply be negated.

Hikaru Amagi had no doubts.

Regardless, an attack power of 2500 is more than enough to withstand the Genome Inheritor as a "wall".

It's a pity I don't have "Ice Sword Dragon", otherwise I could have just used Ice Sword Dragon when the opponent attacked the Mysterious Triple Transformation Linked Formation.

"Cover a card and end the turn."

Although the Ash Dragon's attack power allowed us to barely survive this round, what should we do next round?
The presence of the Emblem God creates a complete field lockdown, the Genome Inheritor alters the attack power of the Emblem God, and the fact that the Emblem God itself is a Numbered Monster means it cannot be destroyed by battle from cards other than Numbered Monsters…

Many people are having a headache thinking about it.

This seems too difficult to handle.

You could tell from the audience's expressions, and from IV's, that everyone felt the pressure of this situation.

IV knew even more; he knew that the emblem gods could not be destroyed by effects, so it would be very difficult to destroy them through effects.

but……

For Hikaru Amagi, however, it was not like that.

The reason is simple: this duel... was "far simpler" than he had imagined!

"My turn, draw a card." Amagi Hikaru casually drew a card, glanced at the card in his hand, and then spoke.

"Duelists must evolve step by step to truly be called duelists. This is a great truth and a very reasonable statement."

"As a duelist, you must keep fighting and creating new possibilities in order to become stronger."

"But... throne, has your so-called creation, your so-called becoming stronger, truly made you... stronger?"

Amagi Hikaru stared straight at the throne.

"What do you want to say?" the throne replied coldly.

“I heard from Yuma that your trump cards are the God of Emblems and the King of Emblems.” Amagi Hikaru looked at the throne and continued, “I even heard that you had almost let go of the past in that final duel.”

After all... Yuma is the child of someone who shares your plight.

"But why would you take Yang Dou and IV away at this time, and run amok in this world that has nothing to do with you?!"

"That's all because of... the Goddess of Despair."

Hikaru Amagi's words left the viewers of Synchronous Dimension feeling confused. They looked at each other, wondering what Hikaru Amagi was talking about.

"The Goddess of Despair is a being that only appears before the most desperate people."

"At that time, you must have realized your own despair... the despair that you could never take revenge in this lifetime." "You wanted to be free, you wanted to die, to send Yuma back to the real world, but you saw the Goddess of Despair at that time, and were lured by her power, and appeared here."

"What are you rambling on about?" The Jade Throne asked, puzzled.

He's not interested in these things now.

All I want is to be happy, joyful, and torment Fika's son.

Everything else... doesn't matter!!

"Heh... Indeed, it sounds like it has nothing to do with you. After all, you're content as long as you can make Kaito and Yuto fight each other—giving up on causing trouble for Dr. Fica, you can only settle for tormenting their son!"

"Damn it!" The throne's eyes erupted with a blood-red light, and the powerful emblem even caused the entire room to "expand" due to the vibrations.

"My business with Fica is a matter of the Hyperdimensional Dimension, and it's none of your business."

“Ah, yes.” Hikaru Amagi nodded slightly, acknowledging the matter. “So it’s not important to me.”

"The important thing is... you are the agent of the goddess of despair."

So, I'm going to show you what a true duel between duelists is all about!

End this duel in one round!

One round?

That's incredibly boastful.

With only 500 health points left, what can you do?

"Activate the Continuous Spell Card, Bright Fusion!"

"When this card is activated, you can use a monster from your Deck as Fusion Material to Fusion Summon 1 Gem Knight Fusion Monster with 0 ATK and DEF. When this card leaves the field, that monster is destroyed!"

"I sent the Gem Knight Jade and Gem Knight Quartz from my deck to the graveyard to perform a Fusion Summon."

"Fusion Summon, Gem Knight: Blue Jade".

Gem Knight Blue Jade, Level 6, Earth Attribute, Water Type, Attack Power 1400.
"The effect of Quartz: If this card is sent to the Graveyard or banished as Fusion Material, you can add 1 Jewel Knight monster from the Graveyard to your hand. I added Jade to my hand."

"Normal Summon Jade, activate Spell Card, and perform a Fusion Displacement."

"This card can be used as Fusion Material to perform a Fusion Summon."

"I fused green jade and blue jade together."

"The fusion condition is: Gem Knight Monster + Aqua Monster".

"Fusion Summon, Gem Knight: Amethyst!"

Gem Knight Amethyst, Level 7, Earth Attribute, Water Type, Attack Power 1950.
"amethyst?!"

"It's been so long since I've seen Zijing."

"A captain with a long spear is indeed a rare sight."

"If that's the case, we should win, right?"

Those who had merged dimensions roughly understood Amagi Hikaru's idea after reading this.

It's very simple. Since monsters on the field can be negated, why not just use the effects of monsters that aren't on the field?
"The effect of Blue Jade in the Graveyard: If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, target 1 card your opponent controls; return that card to their hand!"
I choose the emblem and shield!

"Activate the overlay card, trap card, and divine punishment!"

"Discard one card from your hand to negate and destroy a monster's effect!"

Jade Throne had anticipated this: "Hehe, you used the effects of Light Prism and Blue Jade to handle the skill extraction issue. The WRGP tournament participants should all know that. You don't think I wasn't on guard, do you?"

That is indeed true.

Participants in the WRGP competition all think about and look for corresponding strategies.

In particular, there's the case of Hikaru Amagi.

Hikaru Amagi, a top-tier Fusion Duelist who has faced countless duels with "Fusion Restrictions" and "Fusion Lockdowns," the undisputed "Strongest Fusion User" in the Fusion Dimension, the invincible "Absolute Fusion Duelist" in the Spirit Dimension...

With such a great reputation, there are naturally many people studying it, so the throne is very clear about Amagi Hikaru's "problem-solving approach".

His battles naturally inspire both anticipation and caution.

"Is that so...? Is the overlay card... divine punishment?"

Hikaru Amagi pondered and thought, then nodded slightly.

"Indeed, it's quite useful as a means of protecting against Blue Jade. After all, just because you've negated the monsters on the field doesn't mean they'll be negated in other positions."

"It's perfect for protecting against monster effects in your hand and graveyard."

“But…” Hikaru Amagi’s calm expression was gradually replaced by indifference, “which also means that your last bit of resistance is gone.”

?

"Activate the effect of the Substitution Fusion in the Graveyard, return the Blue Gem in the Graveyard to the Extra Deck, banish the Substitution Fusion itself, and draw a card."

Hikaru Amagi looked at the card he had drawn and chuckled.

"Pay half your health to activate the overwrite card!!"

Half a life?
At this moment?!

Everyone, including the person on the throne, was somewhat surprised at this moment.

Unlike Shadow Words, which relies on the powerful suppression of the 86, the throne seeks not only suppression, but also a quick victory after exploiting the effect of plunder.

Of course, even if he loses all his materials, he still has cards like "Emblem Beast Double-Headed Eagle" and "Emblem Beast Stad Whale" in his graveyard to fight again, so he can fight in cycles and in long-term battles, which is not as cramped as a single 86.

It's hard to say whether the 86 or his own 69 is stronger. If the 69 is used first, even the Gun King won't be effective. Conversely, if the Gun King is used, the Emblem God won't have a chance to be used.

Ideally, one would have both the Herald God and the Gun King.

It has both endurance and burst damage, as well as powerful attack capabilities.

This is why the goddess of despair favors 86 and 69.

but--

Why would someone reduce their already limited health points when they only have 500?

"Trap Card, Fearful Dragon Domain!"

"What kind of card is that?"

"Hey, this looks like a fusion too?"

"A completely new fusion?"

The audience was talking a lot.

In Hikaru Amagi's duels, one can always see some novel and bizarre fusions.

Moreover, not only in the previous duel, but the fusion card that Amagi Hikaru used this time was also one that they had never seen before.

"Oh--"

Only one person recognized the card.

"Isn't this the card I gave to that kid?"

A large group of people from the merged dimensions turned back to find the source of the sound and saw a young man wearing a green jacket and a red hat.

Dinosaur Ryuzaki!

It's him!

That's not surprising, that's not surprising.

"That kid, did he finally complete the fusion of the dinosaur peptide?" Dinosaur Ryuzaki smirked, in a very good mood.

On stage, the effects of the trap cards continued.

Amagi LP: 500→250.
"That blue jade wasn't meant to solve the shield emblem, but rather to test what my final overlay card is?" The throne quickly realized as well.

Hikaru Amagi must have a method he believes can lead to a quick victory, but he can't be sure that everything on his side will succeed, so...

Prioritize conducting "pitfall testing"!
His real purpose was actually decided at the very beginning!
"Darkaphrys Dragon's Domain effect: During your or your opponent's Main Phase, you can activate this effect by halving your Life Points. Send the Fusion Materials of the [Darkaphrys Dragon] Fusion Monster from your hand, Deck, or Field to the Graveyard, and Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck."

Deck Fusion!

"Send the Fearsome Dragon Scythe Dragon and Fearsome Dragon Brachiosaurus from the deck to the graveyard."

"Fusion Summon!"

"Level 6, Fearful Peptide Mad Dragon - Nail-like Dragon Queen!"

With the call to merge, two cyber dinosaurs flew into the graveyard, and a blonde female warrior with cutting-edge technology, a mechanical dragon tail, and a confident expression appeared on Amagi Hikaru's field.

Fearful Peptide Mad Dragon - Nail-like Dragon Queen, Level 6, Dark Attribute, Dinosaur Race, Attack Power 4000.
Attack power 4000!?
The jade throne stared wide-eyed.

How can a level 6 fusion monster have 4000 attack power?

"Attack power 4000?"

"Isn't it level 6?"

"Such a low level yet 4000 attack power—"

"Hey everyone, look, that monster's acting strange!" someone called out to their friends, sharing their discovery.

Some of the audience members were quick-witted and immediately noticed a strange phenomenon.

The Jade Throne also witnessed that phenomenon.

He stared wide-eyed in shock at the shield beside him, only to see the once tall, mighty, and menacing monster shrinking in size and reducing its attack power!
What...what's going on?

The emperor watched this scene in disbelief.

Heraldry Shield, ATK: 2600 → 0.
"Impossible!" the throne exclaimed. "The shield emblem appeared first, so the effects of the other monsters should have been negated!"

“That’s right,” Hikaru Amagi said calmly. “That’s why my monster has 4000 attack power, while your monster has 0.”

Varied……

"The effect of the Fearful Dragon Queen: Spike Dragon. This card's ATK decreases by your own LP."

The pupils of the jade throne contracted.

No wonder it has 4000 attack power at level 6!

No wonder... the shield's attack power has decreased!

"Uh... Ah! So, so clever!"

Some people understood what was happening.

"Since the opponent has the ability to steal monster effects, let's just give them all! You like taking effects, right? Here, take these effects, what are you not satisfied with!"

"Haha, this is so interesting! I never knew it could be done like this!"

Inflict a negative effect on your opponent!

“But…” Manjoume frowned and said, “If that’s all there is to it, it’s not enough to defeat the Shield.”

The shield emblem can also activate the effect of Gene Inheritor, which reduces the opponent's monster's attack power to 0 and restores the emblem's own attack power to the opponent's original value.

In this situation, the Spike Dragon Queen has no way to win quickly.

"Quick-Play Spell Card, Fusion Deactivation."

? ? ! !
"Return the Spike Dragon Queen to the Fusion Deck and Special Summon the two Fusion Materials from your Graveyard."

Two cyber dinosaurs appeared on the field, looking confident and unafraid of each other.

"Why?" asked the emperor, puzzled.

"I've heard Yuma say that... the shield emblem has the ability to remove one Xyz Material and destroy one card on the opponent's field when the opponent attacks you, right?"

"what?"

"That monster is still effective!?"

"That's too sneaky! Not only can it not be destroyed by battle from monsters other than numbered monsters, but when attacked, it can also destroy 1 card on your opponent's field?"

"How can these two monsters stacked on top of each other be so powerful?!"

Why? Because this thing is a card from the monster-filled "Yu-Gi-Oh! Z4".

"I see, so you knew about this." The throne looked at Amagi Hikaru, the feigned panic on his face vanishing completely, replaced by absolute confidence. "With only 250 health points, you have no other options. You might as well give up now."

Amagi Hikaru held up a card, waved it gently, and said, "That's hard to say, Your Majesty."

?

"I know the effects of all the cards on the field right now. I've already shown the effects of the cards in the graveyard. Your hand is empty."

but me……

And this last fusion.

Could it be that! ?

A card...

"Seat, I have no ill intentions towards you, because I heard from Yuma that you had already given up on revenge, but the sudden appearance of the Goddess of Despair drove you mad again..."

"I must defeat you. Only after defeating you will I have the chance to summon the Goddess of Despair."

"Therefore—I will not show any mercy!"

"Quick-fire spell card, rapid-fire trigger!"

"Destroy the Fusion Material Monsters you control as determined by a Fusion Monster Card, and Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck. Fusion Monsters Special Summoned by this effect can only attack monsters Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, and are unaffected by the effects activated by other monsters Special Summoned from the Extra Deck!"

"Destroy the two Fearsome Dragons on the field!"

bump!

Metal resonance —

Countless fragments formed a dance of metal and lightning.

A dark figure, wielding red wrist blades, descended once again, truly!
Fearful Peptide Mad Dragon - Nail-like Dragon Queen, Level 6, Dark Attribute, Dinosaur Race, Attack Power 4000.
"...unaffected by the effects of activation..."

"That's right, the monster created by the rapid-fire trigger still suffers from the continuous effect of the shield emblem—and therefore, your shield emblem's attack power will return to 0!"

"Roar—"

Having just regained its attack power, the shield roared as it absorbed the power of all the monsters on the field. However, among these numerous "powers," there were some that it could not use or bear... a price!
The shield's attack power has dropped to 0 again!

The main deck is a projection of the duelist's heart, while the monsters in the extra deck represent the ultimate belief.

While some people don't use the Extra Deck, that's certainly true for the Throne and for numbered duelists.

Although the main deck cards were enhanced, the cards used by the Emperor throughout his reign were still his original numbered cards.

"Battle! Spiked Dragon Queen attacks the Crest of the Aegis!"

"While numbered monsters cannot be destroyed by battle from cards other than numbered monsters, they still have to take damage!"

"And that damage—4000!"

The Nail Dragon Queen laughed heartily, and like Wolverine, she swung her arms and charged towards the shield. After the two sharp red arm blades slashed through, the immense force pierced through the throne.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

Amyrlin, LP: 4000→0.
The jade throne was pierced through the chest, its life points instantly dropped to zero, and it roared and screamed.

“Father!” IV stood up anxiously.

But at this moment, the throne seemed to come to its senses, and finally spoke with a sense of relief: "No...it's alright now, this is...good—"

Immediately, the soul that should have long since vanished finally transformed into specks of light and departed from the world of the living.

Hikaru Amagi shook his hand.

I won in just three rounds... I didn't expect it to be so fast.

He was originally considering using branding to wage a protracted war.

But during the duel, he sensed his opponent's "inner thoughts".

Although the original version of the shield is still powerful, and although the throne is doing its job dutifully for the goddess of despair, he is tired, too tired.

He was tired of "living".

Therefore, he came here with the intention of a quick kill and did not give much thought to the so-called "future".

Where the throne disappeared, a card slowly flickered and floated, it was "No. 69 Emblem of the Divine Shield". Tiera snapped her fingers, and countless puppet strings flew out from all directions, preparing to retrieve the card, but Amagi Hikaru raised her hand, indicating that she did not need to retrieve it.

She was puzzled, but then she saw the card slowly disappear into thin air.

"You just let her take her away like that?" Tierra asked, puzzled.

"Only by completely and utterly shattering what she considers her strongest state can she truly realize whether her despair is real or not. Only then can she be completely annihilated."
